Intensity inhomogeneity may cause considerable difficulties in segmentation of CT image. In order to overcome the difficulties caused by intensity inhomogeneity, the region-scalable fitting (RSF) model was put forward. RSF model draws upon intensity information in local regions with a controllable scale. But only using intensity information may lead to slow convergence rate and poor denoise ability. Combining the method of robust statistics, RSF model is improved in this paper. In the improved model, the intensity in RSF model is replaced with local robust statistics which is the weighted comb...
